Front parking lights replacement?

beamo · Apr 28th, 2012, 16:27

Anyone tell or show me how to replace the two orange lights at the side of the headlights" parking lights"? I think they are called this, anyway I am a bit concerned as I have the high voltage headlights fitted and there are stickers everywhere saying" danger high voltage!!"
I would appreciate your help as I don't want a new hair style at the moment
Cheers chris

I don't know for sure but suspect it's a bumper off job. If they're not already LEDs I'd think about replacing them with some.

Hi, i did mine. its a bit fiddley though!! i lost a few layers of skin. the bumper does not need to come off. directly behind the amber lens there is a hole. in the hole is a flat white plastic 'blade'. twist it anti clock wise i think to undo it and pull out to access the little 501 bulb. on the drivers side you need to take off the filler for the washer bottle. the reason why you see so many volvos with the off......well...........lets see how you get on!!! have some plasters in the first aid box if i were you

good luck

I replaced my indicator bulbs today as I had an advisory on my MOT as they were loosing their orange!! What a fiddly job - Tip, where some latex gloves and a rag otherwise you'll rip your hands to bit! Really fiddly but now they have been replaced they should be good for years
